i think the president has let the mistakes of the past, and chris christie has put politics aside at the moment and is on there on on the ground reassuring people to help them to rebuild. >> so you're saying if there is a mastiff misstep, it has a negative impact. but if everything goes okay, the incumbent president doesn't get an up side from that? >> this is a much broader area covered by the storm, but nothing on the scale of katrina. you have the mayor, the president, all at loggerheads about who should take control of the situation and it was chaos. this isn't the case with hurricane sandy. >> we dou know what we're going to get from obama, but what will we get from mitt romney if he's elected? i know a number of republicans throughout the united states who have been more extreme in their anti-obama views than they have about any other democratic leader since i've known them and there is a relate fear that america is being socialized by obama and that he's a real danger and threat to the system and the american constitution. all of that is fine since i'm not going to have to vot
